Right, but the OTHER things you mentioned don't often, at least from what I know, lead to perpetual homelessness. I didn't mean that other causes don't deserve help and scrutiny, but as far as I'm aware, being LBGT and getting kicked out by your family isn't a leading cause of perpetual homelessness.

Not trying to marginalize, was just pointing to the chronic causes.

EDIT:

As far as choice vs. not choice, I honestly had a LOT of interaction with a huge contingent that were all under 25 and chose to be homeless. The person that I knew that provided the window into that world for me had more than one home to go to, but refused anything. I don't think my experience means that's the way it always is, but I know that they're there, because I talked with them myself.
